COACH ANDY
​OWNER OF PRIMARY SPORTS DEVELOPMENT

Andy has been coaching children of all ages for over 17 years. Having worked for and trained through Southampton Football Club within the Foundation and the world famous Academy, Andy has coached some current England FC and Premiership players.  

Throughout this time, he has a vast variety of coaching qualifications. Whilst football is his passion, in recent years Andy has trained, qualified and coached in multi-sports across the board to fit in with the changing curriculum affecting schools. 

Based in Southampton, Andy is a proud father of two lovely young daughters and truly understands the importance of sports at a young age and the team work between parents and coaches/teachers to provide the best for your children. 

"I believe every child learns and develops in a different way so it is important to support and ensure every individual is engaged, learning, developing and enjoying their sports. Every session I run is all about what the children take from it, be it a new sports skill, or social skills right down to helping the children develop confidence to give each and every task a try."

"Since taking part in Badminton with Coach Andy, both my girls have grown in confidence. They love going every week to after school sports, and really enjoy their sports time with Andy for school PE too. Coach Andy is fantastic with them, and they in turn think he is amazing."
